So tired of only getting 2 or so channels that every few minutes go pixelated I almost reverted back to cable but I know this way will be cheaper in the long haul
If you have any thoughts on this or need any more info please let me know

What type of antenna are you using now? Are you in a house, townhome, or apartment? Do you have access to a south facing window? Would you be able to mount an antenna outdoors or in an attic?

For best reception you need an antenna built for both VHF-high and UHF pointed toward the south-southwest.

Thanks,
Dan

Snappy Dan Reminds You:

DO NOT install antennas anywhere where they could fall into overhead power lines!!! An antenna falling into power lines may result in electrical shock or death. All outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Be careful while working on roofs or towers. Always use appropriate safety precautions!!!

Its a powered one with a knob and rabbit ear it will 40 percent of the time pick up 2 of the channels its facing east. I live in a duplex, there are no south facing windows, I could mount one in the attic or the roof.

Use black-jacketed RG-6 coaxial cable and don't worry about the need of any amplifiers until after your first testing results are in. Expect to capture about a dozen primary channels plus all of their sub-channels.

The Channel Masters are great antennas, but, in this case, I'd go with the Antenna Craft HBU22 as Jim has suggested, because of it's wider beam width. Pointed at 168 Magnetic, should provide Ryan with all five of the National Channels, and several other Independents available in his area.
